I won't be donating, since I don't believe that what needs to change in software development is as simple as a choice of programming language--I'm sure you've heard that one before. Best of luck with your endeavors regardless!

The Common Lisp Revival 2020 Fundraiser is mostly oriented towards people who understand the value of Common Lisp. Thank you.
I understand its value as well as I believe I need to in order to do good work. I'm sure you hold beliefs that are different from mine, and I think that diversity--and the fact that we can talk about this stuff honestly and respectfully--is what makes our industry great.

My CV offers a lot of pertinent details about my work: https://cv.hexstream.expert/
